Talk:Guide to farming Ebon Vanguard reputation points

From Guild Wars Wiki

Erm...You can't give a NM Hero's Handbook to the NPC anymore after you reach rank 8 (Valued Agent). The last line is therefore faulty.

[edit] Delete?

This does not seem like a guide, so much as how you gain points. Should this be marked for deletion until someone can write an actual guide? Mohnzh 15:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] As far as Sacnoth strategy goes

I'm not really going to be able to prove this, but grabbing the shrines as you pass them can be useful to raise your rank bonus earlier on. More foes killed at rank 2,3,4 earlier on MIGHT > 100 pts from each shrine at the end. It just depends on the math, which is hard since it's a probability, and I got sick and tired of farming Sacnoth a few days after the GW:EN release. So... anyone care to confirm for me? -- Mafaraxas 17:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

When I do my runs tonight, I'll confirm this for you. Jack 23:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with marafaxas, it's not always gaurenteed to give raw points after everything is killed. Once, after following this guide, i picked up all the shrines last and got several rampage, boss bounties, and commendations. I could be wrong, but I think it would net a much larger point gain if you went to shrines mid-run. And btw, I am having trouble vanquishing this area, so if somebody doesn't mind helping me, add me in-game as Gabrial The Paragon, thx. 68.187.16.3 21:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Gabe

I would try to get rank two as fast as possible, since it gives the biggest increase in NM. With 50 dead enemies you get 40 points. Getting an early rank two makes that up fast.

EatMoreBread 02:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC): Since this is a pretty generic strategy that one would use for any reputation point farming, it should not be so intimately detailed here. It's nothing special, it's just saying to clear the entire zone. The question asked here of which strategy for farming reputation points is better should be detailed in the Reputation Points page; I think this section should be revised with a strategy that pertains more closely to this particular zone.
